This is something I have been considering as I work on firestarter [0] which is a going to be an open source starting point for building a SaaS. I decided tests are a good thing to have, and especially when already set up and you can easily add more by following the pattern. I prefer unit tests that are narrow in scope and avoid IO interactions (for example databases) Of course anyone using my framework can ignore the tests if they desire. But my gut feeling is tests save you time in the short run as well as long run. [0] https://github.com/mcapodici/firestarter https://github.com/mcapodici/firestarter
